The first seven years of a company are the time when it makes changes and finds the best way to promote it's mission. Our mission is "to strengthen home and family through the power of story." In order to have stories in our homes, we need to publish! As consultants, we have been asking our leadership to find a way to help us simplify our offerings for our clients. Last fall, we changed from buying products ahead to buying points and using them for whichever product we wanted. Now we have a continuation of that idea, adding the ability to get points at a great price and spread the cost out for those of us who want to publish consistently.
Announcing: Club HM!!!
Benefits:
Purchase points at wholesale (essentially a consultant discount of 25%)
Free Premier each month (with all the Premier benefits--YEE HAW!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Monthly investment vs. one large sum
All dollars invested go toward projects (points)
You choose your level of commitment
15-35% discount on any extra points you may need
These benefits are huge for those clients who want to publish projects consistently and not worry about needing to invest one large sum. I love this new option because every dollar a client invests in Heritage Makers goes toward publishing!
You can choose from three price points (each plan includes free Premier):
$30 for 40 points per month
$50 for 70 points per month
$100 for 150 points per month
The minimum commitment is for three months. After that you can allow the system to auto renew each month or discontinue. If you discontinue, you can sign up for Club again when you are ready.
If you sign up for Club HM and have any Premier left on a previous membership, you will get 10 extra points per month until your previous Premier runs out (to "reimburse" you for your previously purchased Premier.)
***There is a one time *optional* purchase of 100 points for $50 with a first time Club HM sign up. That's a 50% discount!
Example:
At $30 per month, you are able to publish 480 points over the course of the year and have free Premier (a savings of $100). Even if there is a month or two that you don't work that much, you are not losing any value as all your money invested is gaining points to use on your projects.
If you don't think you'll need that many points, you are only committed for three months, so if there is a larger book or canvas project to do that will work in that time frame, $90 for 120 points + free Premier is a better deal than renting Premier for three months at $35 and then having to purchase the project on top of that. If there are leftover points, you can always use them toward other projects in the future as points don't expire for two years.
You can still choose to be a basic member for free and rent Premier like before (I've clarified below). Club HM is just a way to invest in your memories and publish on a consistent basis at a deeper discount! Let me know if this is an option you would love to pursue!
Happy Memory Keeping!

PS. One other change: Instead of having monthly sales on products to purchase ahead of time, there will be additional discounts on publishing certain products. See the announcements on the HM website, or check the publishing specials page on the upper left of the blog.
Previous membership options that are still available (with one great change!)
1. Basic Membership--(still free) This is the same as before and gives a client access to the basic artwork and the Studio software. The one change is that previous Premier members who have let their account go back to Basic can still work on and publish projects that contain Premier art--even if their Premier has expired. That is great for those who just want to get Premier here and there and still work on the projects when they don't have Premier. You can't add new Premier art to a project if you aren't a Premier member, of course, but you can continue to work on the project itself. Then, if you want more art, you can add Premier again when you want to.
2. Basic Membership + Premier--this is like the Club Premier of the past year, but with a different name. You can add Premier to your Basic account in 1 ($20), 3 ($35), or 12($100) month increments. This is the same as before where you are, essentially, renting the Premier Art Library and getting the other Premier benefits. When you need to publish a project, you still buy points through me. There is a 5-10% discount on points with either basic account depending on how many points are purchased.
